CHAPTER 8

The Industry Behind the Addiction

Wisconsin Avenue. It’s a good address for a group taking on the cheese industry.

In their offices at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s headquarters in Washington, DC, Mark Kennedy and Mindy Kursban were combing through government records like bloodhounds tracking a criminal. The Physicians Committee is the organization I founded in 1985 to promote better nutrition, better health, and better research. Mindy and Mark are attorneys. Mindy was educated at Emory University, Mark at Washington and Lee.

Using the Freedom of Information Act, they had unearthed a stack of contracts between the government and fast-food chains to push cheese, grants to researchers aiming to make dairy products look healthy, and advertising schemes aimed at boosting cheese sales. In this chapter, I’ll share what they found. If you imagined that food industry giants have your best interests at heart, you will find some new things to think about.
